TV Show Tests North Korean Stereotypes

North Korean defector Shin Eun-ha tells us how she became a contestant on a South Korean TV show aiming to break down barriers between defectors and their host country.

South Korean TV producer Lee Jin-Min explains why he created a game show to challenge stereotypes about North Korea. Also, writer Sarah Moss, whose love of the islands of the North Atlantic led her to live in Iceland for a year. Her book is called Names for the Sea: Strangers in Iceland. Actress Dame Janet Suzman tells us how the brutal killing of an actor in South Africa led her to star in a play inspired by his death, Solomon and Marion. And, Jane Dolby, the widow of a fisherman, on why she started the Fishwives' Choir to connect women who've lost loved ones at sea.
